The International Monetary Fund has introduced 11 new anti-corruption conditions on Pakistan's $7 billion bailout package, increasing total compliance requirements to 64 over 18 months. Despite approving $1.2 billion in fresh disbursements, the IMF warned of risks from policy slippages, weak institutions, and structural vulnerabilities. Pakistan's economy shows fragile progress with public debt exceeding $307 billion, highlighting the continued need for reforms in public finances, state-owned enterprises, and climate resilience measures.
